Prevención primaria del VIH en población inmigrante: análisis de concepto

: The strategies established for HIV prevention directed at immigrant populations are diverse and not very specific about the characteristics of these groups. Objective: To analyze the concept of "primary prevention of HIV in the immigrant population". Methodology: The steps suggested by Walker and Avant were followed, so a structured review of the literature in dictionaries and databases (Embase, Pubmed and Ebsco) was carried out. Results: There is no evidence of the existence of a definition on the specific term, so a proposal is made that encompasses the strategies identified in the literature, specific in this population. Conclusions: primary prevention of HIV in migrants is identified as a great opportunity to strengthen coverage of universal access to vulnerable populations, as well as being a complex process that requires a multidisciplinary approach in structural, biomedical and behavioral areas that are developed with the axis being adaptations to cultural needs.
